West coast tamale meat products recalled: USDA

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A California company has recalled around 144,633 pounds of frozen meat and poultry products due to a failure to declare an allergen on the labeling, the Department of Agriculture said on Thursday.

The Homestead Pasta Company started the recall of beef, turkey, and chicken tamale packages after a routine USDA inspection found the labels did not include the known dairy allergen whey.

The packages in question have the establishment number "P-4994" or "EST. 4994" on the mark of inspection and were shipped to California, Oregon, and Washington state, the USDA said.
